Description of the new feature/enhancement

When using terminal over an app, if acrylic opacity is turned on, many a times this happens that the background color matches the font color of terminal which in turn makes the font unreadable. So if possible, we can have a quick toggle on the left side of minimize button that will toggle the acrylic opacity from true to false or vice versa. This will help in the above issue.

Proposed technical implementation details (optional)
